If you do not like to hike, do not love nature, do not want to stay fit, do not enjoy the outdoors, do not want life long friendships, do not like to travel, do not love adventure, do not love history and do not want to be part of a club celebrating 53 years of passion and the opportunity to hike almost 2,000 times a year with 700 of your closest friends ....then the Indianapolis Hiking Club is not for you!

.... Or, you can take a closer look at what might be the best, first day of the rest of your life. Learn more about us. Better yet, review our hike schedule and join us on any hike as a guest. Everyone 18 years or older is welcome, no invitation is necessary and there is no fee, but please no pets. We hope to see you soon!

Get out your pencil and fire up your imagination and join the fun. Obtain the Schedule Online Almost 1/3 of the Club has chosen to obtain the hiking schedule from this website and forgo the mailed copy. This will significantly reduce our printing and mailing costs and labor to distribute the schedule. If you currently receive the schedule by mail and would be willing to give the paperless option a try, please contact Jane Hilaire at 887-1835 or email her at mjh_7@yahoo.com. If you subsequently change your mind, simply advise Jane to reinstate the mailed copy.
